SEATTLE, THE QUEEN CITY • • • • 

▼ T T T T ▼ T 

“ Seattle is metropolitan. It has the indefinable tone that marks the city 
from the town, and that when amplified belongs only to the chief city in a state 
or industrial district. It has the crowds of hurrying men and women, the loung¬ 
ing, staring groups of yokels, the daily battalions of tourists and drummers and 
strangers generally, bent on selling or buying and driving about with heavy bag-

gage piled on their cabs; it has large and fine hotels, theaters of several grades, 
beer gardens, etc. It makes the visitor feel that it is a bustling, capital town, 
and that is a character and influence that cannot be simulated or made to order. 
It is the districts of wholesale stores, whose merchandise and customers crowd 
one another on the sidewalks, it is the bustle at the depots and wharves, the 
activity in the harbor—if it is a seaport—the flurry of the people in the retail 
quarter; such are the tell=tales of a city of importance, and Seattle has them.”— 
Julian Ralph , in Harper's Monthly. 





















Location and Surroundings. —Seattle, the chief city of Washington, is situated 
on the east side of Puget Sound, midway between the north and south ends of that un¬ 
equaled body of water, on the slopes and hills between the salt waters of the bay and the 
fresh waters of Lake Washington. The wharves, warehouses, railways, streets, mills, 
shops, factories, wholesale stores, boat houses, fisheries, lumber yards, and a host of other 
establishments, occupy the low lands on the w r ater front, while the slopes and highlands 
to the east are built up with hotels, retail stores, halls, churches, schools, residences and 
all the other things that go to make a city. In different portions of the city elevations of 
from 200 to 400 feet are attained, general!}' by easy grades. These heights permit of per-

feet drainage, and render Seattle one of the most wholesome of cities. These heights, 
the intervening undulations, the slopes to the east and west, north and south, supple¬ 
mented by grand views of the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Washington, Union and 
Green lakes, Puget Sound and the surrounding shores and hills, valleys and rivers, with 
their settlements and towns, furnish scenery of the finest character and the utmost variety. 
From ten thousand home-sites beautiful and inspiring views may be obtained. 

















































Terminus of the Great Northern Railway. —It is becoming evident that the 
recent opening of the Great Northern railway for traffic from its Pacific terminus at Seattle, 
through to the East, is an event of greater importance to the Pacific Coast than anything 
that has occurred since the first railroad touched the shores of the Pacific. This is not 
simply because there is a new railroad in the field, but is due to the fact that this superb 
road, brought to successful completion by the commanding genius behind it, was built for 
less money and better than any other transcontinental railroad; has only a fraction of the 
indebtedness of any other road to the Pacific coast (and that at a lower rate), and has an 
advantage in grades that makes it the practical master of the transcontinental traffic. 
These things mark the dawn of a new era in through railroad business; they mean that 
Washington will have all of the United States for a market in future, and not simply the 
cities of the world that can be reached by ships. They give sure promise of the speedy 
development of the wonderfully rich and varied resources of Washington, and particularly 
do they indicate growth and prosperity for Seattle, ‘ ‘the headquarters and hindquarters of 
the Great Northern railway on the Pacific Coast,” as Mr. Hill has expressed it. It is safe 
to say that no other community rejoices quite so thoroughly over the completion of the 
Great Northern as does Seattle, for it emphasizes this city’s final triumph over adversity 
and every sort of opposition. 

Seattle’s Victory Deserved. —Seattle’s victory has been entirely due to her com¬ 
manding location, perfect harbor and enterprising and self-reliant people. When a rail¬ 
road projected to Puget Sound in early days failed to keep faith with Seattle the people 
turned out en masse and began to build a railroad for themselves, and actually constructed 
the road to the Newcastle mines; again, when railroad oppression became unendurable in 
later years, and it became necessary to have a counter irritant, Seattle citizens began the 
construction of the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad, designed to connect with a 
transcontinental railroad east of the mountains. Capital was enlisted in New York, a 
large portion of the construction was done and the enterprise served an admirable purpose 
before it fell into the hands of the Northern Pacific. The.se are important facts of history 
and are only referred to as such. 

Seattle, named in honor of an Indian chief, was first settled in 1852, but its growth 
was slow and unimportant for many years. In 1880 the population was only about 3,000.

Features of Seattle. —Seattle has 106 miles of graded streets, from 60 to 120 feet 
wide. Railroad avenue in part is 250 feet wide, but not yet fully occupied. A compre¬ 
hensive system of boulevards from 80 to 150 feet wide is projected. The streets are lighted 
by 910 electric lamps. Private and public parks are numerous. The city maintains a 
free reading room and public library of high character. Including steam fire boat, houses, 
horses, engines, lots and all, the fire apparatus is more than can be found in any like city 
elsewhere and has cost $260,000. The department requires the services of 78 fully paid 
men. One million and sixty thousand dollars have been spent for a system of water

supply, and $400,000 for main sewers. The city owns real estate worth $350,000. There 
are *050 telephones in use. 

Schools. —The common schools are under the direction of a board of education, con¬ 
nected in no wise with the city government. In 1892 6,417 pupils were enrolled and in 
1893 over 7,000. The 1892 census showed 9,865 children of school age and 4,124 under 
age. The district owns property valued at $660,000, including 6 brick and 12 frame

Churches.—There are sixty-two church organizations and fifty-three church structures. Nearly all denom¬ 
inations are represented. Several denominations have from three to ten local societies and buildings. The 
aggregate membership is about 7,000, the parishioners about 16,000 and the value of church property is about 














Banks. —Seattle has eighteen banks, with an aggregate capital of $3,095,000 and in 
1892 deposits amounted to $7,050,000 and the resources to $11,784,000. The clearing 
house business amounted to $55,514,556,. There are in the state 121 banks, having 
a total capital of $14,086,000. 

Seattle Manufactures. —Rather than give unofficial figures for 1893 it will be better 
to go back three years and give the statistics of manufactures of Seattle for the census 
year, 1890, as announced by the census bureau at Washington, D. C., viz: 

Number of manufactories. 253 Wages paid.$2,845,299 

Capital invested.$4,284,707 Value of material. 4,462,070 

Hands employed. 3,613 Value of product. 9,208,195

United States Institutions.— Seattle has United States district and circuit courts. 
United States land office, custom house, marine hospital, weather observance and signal 
service offices, internal revenue office, United States depository, office of the geological 
survey, two commissioners and a United States recruiting station. 

Comparative Statistics. —In 1883 the school census showed 2,675 children of 
school age in Seattle, in 1893 13,989- In 1882 ^ 2 79 votes were cast in the cit T’ in i8 9 2 
9,304. The city assessment of 1882 amounted to $ 5 > 9 I 9 > 3 8 5 > that of i8 93 to $43> 8 o 2 >7 i6 - 
The municipal revenues of 1883 aggregated $39,270, of 1893 $780,497. The banks of 
1883 numbered 3, of 1893 18. The newspapers and periodicals of 1883 numbered 6, of 
1893 34. The street lights of 1883 numbered 35, of 1893 910. In 1883 only 19 miles of 
railway terminated in Seattle, and that the entire mileage in the narrow gauge road to 
the coal mine at Newcastle. In 1893 the local and transcontinental systems terminating 
here aggregate 9,514 miles of road. Ten years ago there were no letter carriers, 110 street 












SQUIRE PARK RESIDENCES 



UNION TRUST COMPANY’S BLOCK, cor. south second and main sts. 


yi T E present here two cuts of 
•’ the Union Trust Com¬ 
pany’s property. Squire 
Park stands in the foremost 
rank among the beautiful res¬ 
idence properties of Seattle. 
The Union Trust Company 
controls all the improvements 
made on this property, and 
the restrictions under which 
it is sold, as well as the sys¬ 
tematic beautifying of the 
neighborhood, the nearness to 
the business center, the effi¬ 
cient street car service, and 
the natural advantages of 
situation — overlooking the 
city and surrounding country 
—all contributing to its desir¬ 
ability. It is the only prop¬ 
erty on which the company 
makes residence loans. The 
mortgages are sold to investors 
under the company guaranty 
for the prompt payment of 
principal and interest. Any 
bank in St attic can be referred 
to regarding the character of 
these mortgages. 

The company’s block shown 
in the cut is situated in the 
centre of the wholesale dist¬ 
rict. The beautiful cream- 
colored brick of which it is 
built were manufactured in 
Seattle. The company also 
owns valuable water front 
property. 

The officers of the company 
are: President, Hon. \V. C. 
Squire. U. S. Senator; First 
Vice-Pres., Hon. E. O. Graves, 
president Washington Nation¬ 
al Bank; Second Vice-Pres., 
Hon. Win. Forrest; Secretary 
and Treasurer, M. F. Backus; 
Manager, C. H. Hagan. 

Further information about 
the mortgages will be cheer¬ 
fully furnished investors ad¬ 
dressing the manager. 

























cars, no telephones; now there are 22 carriers, 92 miles of street railway and 1,050 tele¬ 
phones. Ten years ago no ship had ever come direct to Seattle from Atlantic or European 
ports; now many are coming continually and the harbor is never without such craft, and 
wheat, hops, flour, lumber, shingles, products of fisheries, etc., are exported to all parts of 
the world, while the coast coal trade has assumed vast proportions.

Population. —The census has shown Seattle’s population as follows in the years 
named: 

1880. 3,533 1888.19,116 

1883. 6,645 1890. 42,837 

1885 . 9,786 1892 57,542 

Polk’s directory, issued annually, has shown names as here stated: 1889, 11,340; 
1890, 17,534; 1891, 21,515; 1892, 23,561; 1893, 25,184. The multiple 2^ has agreed 
very closely with the census in past years. Using that multiple in connection with the 
directory names of 1893 the population may be stated to number 62,960. 

















CHIEF EVENTS OF 1893 • • • - 

▼ T ▼ T ▼ ▼ ▼ 

Seattle’s progress in 1893, “ the year of the panic,” - has been, uninterrupted and there 
are several events of much importance to chronicle. 

No Bank Failures.—The panic has passed over without leaving a wreck in Seattle. 
There has not been a bank failure or a business disaster in this city during the year. The 
record is unique among cities of like population in the United States and surely demon¬ 
strates the stability of the city. Seattle stood like a rock during the storm, and her 
achievement has been widely commented on. The New York Mail and Express in a lead¬ 
ing editorial said: “Among the articles placed in the corner stone of a new church at 
Seattle last week was a blank book with this inscription on one of its pages : ‘Seattle has 
twenty banks with capital ranging from $50,000 to $600,000, and has never had a bank 
failure; neither has there been a business failure of any sort in Seattle as a result of the 
panic of 1893.’ In addition to the entire absence of bank and business failures in Seattle 
one of the leading banks of the city several weeks ago, during the darkest days of the 
depression, increased its paid-up capital stock from $300,000 to $600,000, and the new 
stock was subscribed instantly when offered. No other bank in the United States has 
increased its capital during the present period of depression. Such an achievement is an 
object lesson worthy of emulation by many older and more populous communities. It 
teaches the advantages of unity of action, and in this case was the direct result of civic pride, 
backed by able and conservative management of the financial institutions. Knowing that 
the banks were secure and would stand together like a stone wall, the mass of their 
depositors stood at their backs. As a result the banks of Seattle have met every demand 
with legal currency and have not even been obliged to resort to clearing house certificates, 
certified checks or any other expedients. Seattle has survived railroad oppression, pros¬ 
pered under a conflagration that destroj^ed the entire business portion of the city, and 
now has a population of 63,000 and is one of the finest cities of the land. Such are the 
fruits of enterprise, self-reliance, unity and civic pride.” 

The Completion of the Great Northern Railway to its Pacific terminus at 
Seattle surpasses all other events of the year in importance and has been referred to in 
previous pages. 

Asiatic Steamship Line.—About the time of the completion of the Great Northern 
railway Messrs. Samuel Samuel & Co., of London and Yokohama, sent a representative 
to America to confer with President Hill, of the railway company, relative to putting on 
a trans-Pacific steamship line in connection with the Great Northern railway. The mis¬ 
sion was entirely successful, and the Great Eastern Steamship Company is the result. The 
Crown of England, the first ship of the new line to make the voyage, arrived at Seattle 
early in the present month with a cargo of tea and other Asiatic products for Puget Sound 
and the East, and there will be a vessel every three weeks. The return cargoes will consist 
mainly of flour from the flouring mills of Seattle, as flour is already largely consumed in 
China and Japan and is supplanting rice as the staff of life in those countries. The vessels 



of the new steamship line, with their American terminus at Seattle, touch at the principal 
ports of China and Japan, and arrangements are now being made for them to call at 
Vladivostock, the chief port of Siberia. The new line has an advantage over all other 
traus-Pacific lines in that its connecting road, the Great Northern, is the shortest trans¬ 
continental road in existence and has the easiest grades, and besides, there is a large saving 
over competing lines in the distance between Seattle and the Asiatic ports, as the following 
table of distances in miles and the map will show: 



Seattle. San Francisco. Liverpool. 


To Shanghai. 5 , 75 ° 6,100 11,750 

To Canton. 6,500 6,800 10,900 

To Vladivostock. . 4,700 5,200 12,700 


Shipping Wheat. —The completion of the Great Northern railway also makes 
Seattle a very important wheat shipping port, as it lays the wheat fields of Eastern Wash¬ 
ington, and particularly of the Big Bend country, at Seattle’s doors. Seattle has prepared 
for the new trade with as fine elevators as any on the Coast, and the railway officials and 
grain buyers estimate that from thirty-five to fifty ship loads of wheat, aggregating 3,500,- 
000 to 5,000,000 bushels will be shipped from Seattle the present year to the grain buying 
countries of the old world. This, of course, is a very small percentage of the wheat that 
will find a market in Seattle in future years. 








































SEATTLE SHIP CANAL • • 


T T T T T ▼ T 



Lake Washington forms the eastern boundary of Seattle, is about 20 miles long, 
averages 2^4 miles in width and has an area of 38.9 square miles, or 24,896 acres, of which 
about 22,000 acres cover a depth of 25 feet or more. The depth of the lake is very great 
and soundings of 600 feet have been made. The idea of connecting Lake Washington 
with Puget Sound by a ship canal, and thereby creating a fresh water harbor, attracted 
the attention of the first engineers on the Pacific Coast, and General George B. McClellan, 


SHOWING ROUTE OF CANAL 

who made a personal survey of the country in 1853, became deeply impressed with the 
importance of the project and strongly urged the war department to take the improvement 
in hand as one intended to create “the finest naval resort in the w T orld.“ All of the canal 
construction required would be for a few hundred feet between Union Bay and Lake Union 
and 5,700 feet between Lake Union and Salmon Bay, an estuary of Puget Sound. 

As a harbor of safety for vessels Lake Washington cannot be surpassed. Its waters 
can accommodate a fleet. The waters of Puget Sound, like all salt waters, are infested 








































































































































































































with the teredo, which is so destructive to wood that the maintenance of wharves and 
trestles is a heavy burden. With lakes Union and Washington as fresh water harbors 
this would be obviated and Seattle would possess a commanding advantage over every 
other port in the world. Ships become foul in salt water and frequently have to go into a 
dry dock and have their bottoms cleaned of barnacles and other parasites at a cost of from 
$500 to $1,000 (San Francisco prices). Fresh water answers the same purpose, and 
Seattle’s fresh water harbor would be of great advantage to shipping in that way. The 
loading and unloading of ships on tide water, owing to the rise and fall of the tide, is more

expensive than on fresh water, where the water is always of a uniform height, and wharves 
can be constructed having in view the greatest economy in handling cargoes. The North 
Pacific Naval Station has been located directly across the Sound from Seattle, and the 
construction of the canal is strongly urged by the naval authorities. Aside from this 
feature of it, it can readily be seen that the construction of the canal would undoubtedly 
give Seattle the lightest harbor dues and cheapest dockage in the world, an advantage 
which, while of the vastest importance to this city, would be shared by the entire country 
whose^products pass through the port of Seattle. Already three railroads, the Northern 
Pacific, Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern and the Columbia & Puget Sound, touch the shore 
of Lake Washington; two others, the Great Northern and the Union Pacific, are nearly

completed to it, and the Chicago,' Burlington & Quincy is in prospect. Besides having: 
been urged by General McClellan the construction of the canal has been warmly recom" 
mended by territorial and state legislatures of Washington; by Major George H. Elliott, 
General B. S. Alexander and Captain C. W. Raymond (December 9, 1867); by General 
Alexander (October 11, 1870); by Captain Charles F. Powell (March 20, 1884); by Gen¬ 
eral Nelson A. Miles and Major-General John Pope (July 16, 1885), by General John 
Gibbon (March 29, 1892.) A strong report in its favor was made December 15, 1871, by 
a special board of examiners, consisting of B. S. Alexander, lieutenant-colonel of en¬ 
gineers, brevet brigadier-general U. S. A., president of the board of engineers of the Pacific 
Coast, and Thomas H. Handbury, first lieutenant of engineers. After a most thorough 
examination, a still more detailed and favorable report was made December 15, 1891, by 





























a board appointed by President Harrison, consisting of Colonel G. H. Men dell, Major 
T. H. Handbury and Captain T. W. Symons, corps of engineers. Upon the report an 
initial appropriation of $300,000 passed the United States senate last year, but failed in 
the house. That congress will soon undertake the work, however, there is no doubt.

KING COUNTY • • • • 

V V V V T 

In 1870 King county, of which Seattle is the county seat, had 2,164 people, and in 
1880 5,910, it being exceeded then by but three of the twenty-five counties in the territory. 
In 1883 it took first place, with 10,242 inhabitants, a place that it has held continually 
since, with ever increasing lead. The census of 1892 showed a population of 78,762, or 
3,646 more than the entire state twelve years before! 

Coal.— For twenty years past King county has led in coal production on the Pacific 
Coast. It has had more mines opened, has produced more coal, has exported more, and 
has found a more general and widespread market than any other county in the state. Its 
coals have gone to the extent of 5,000,000 tons to warm and serve the people of Alaska, 
British Columbia, Washington, California, Hawaii and Mexico. The coal ranges in

Timber. —There are 879,- 
600 acres of timber land in 
King County, upon which 20,- 
230,800,000 feet of timber are 
estimated to be standing. This 
timber is fir, cedar, spruce, 
hemlock, maple, alder and ash. 
The lumber industry is already 
large, requiring millions of 
capital and employing thou¬ 
sands of men. The shingle 
mills of the county have a ca¬ 
pacity of 2,000,000 shingles a 
day. 

Agricultural Lands aggre¬ 
gate 300,000 acres. About 
12,000 tons of hay are raised 
per annum, worth about $12 
per ton, and 3,000,000 pounds 
of hops worth about 17 cents 
per pound, besides apples, 
plums and other tree fruits 
worth $200,000 ; oats $40,000 ; 
vegetables, poultry, eggs, but¬ 
ter, pigs, cattle, horses, wool, 
honey, etc., in large quantities.

Clay. —King county takes high rank in clays and has over $i,coo,ooo invested in 
manufacturing its various products, including brick, sewer pipe, unsurpassed anywhere; 
fire brick, proven by tests to be the equal of the foreign article; vitrified paving brick of 
wonderful toughness, terra cotta lawn decorations, building blocks, ornamental terra cotta 
of exquisite colors, pressed brick and building front brick from Scotch granite to an imita¬ 
tion of pure marble. Clays are also being worked in Seattle that show 45 per cent of 
aluminum, and clays have been found suitable for the finest pottery. A striking feature 
of King county clays is the extreme degree of heat they will stand. One Seattle clay 
company (the Denny Clay Co.), employs 175 men, and pays out $10,000 in Seattle every 
month. The manufactures of King county are estimated at $12,000,000 per annum. 

Waterways. —In Lakes Union, Washington and Sammamish and in Snoqualmie, 
Green, White, Cedar, Duwamish and other rivers King county has extensive and most 
valuable inland waterways, while it is the keystone and center of Puget Sound, which 
accounts for its foremost position so firmly held in the commercial affairs of the North 
Pacific Coast. Five companies own and operate 240 miles of railroad in King county.

PUGET SOUND • • • • 

▼ ▼ ▼ t y 


Puget Sound is an inland sea of great beauty. Its approach from the ocean is through 
the Strait of Juan de Euca, a deep, broad channel 12 miles wide and 90 miles long. At 
its head the strait is lost among the islands, bays and inlets of Puget Sound proper, and 
beyond to the north in the Gulf of Georgia. Puget Sound has an east-side length of 150 
miles, and a west-side length of 90 miles, following the main channels, but its actual 
shore line is 1,594 niiles, this extraordinary mileage being caused by the ramification of 
waters. They divide into a score of bays, large and small, and surround many islands. 
One of these is Hood’s canal, 4 miles wide and 60 miles long. One of the islands is 30

miles long, and there are six others from 10 to 20 miles each. The water varies in depth 
from 5 to 150 fathoms. There are no reefs, bars or other obstructions, and no navigation 
is easier, plainer or safer. The rates of maritime insurance are the lowest known. No 
ship has ever been lost within its waters in consequence of storms, and disasters ot this 
kind are practically impossible, the Sound being one great harbor, with admirable holding 
ground throughout. 

In a broader sense the name Puget Sound is made to apply to all the country border¬ 
ing upon its waters, from the summits of the Cascade Mountains on the east to the Olym¬ 
pics or Coast Range on the west. From these mountains originate many rivers, which 
flow from 15 to 150 miles and empty into the Sound. The Skagit is the longest of these 





























































































































































































































rivers, and others are Nooksack, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Cedar, White, Green, Puyallup, Nes- 
qually, Deschuttes and Skokomish. Several are navigable. There are also many lakes, the chief ones being 
Washington, Sammamish and Whatcom. The river valleys are very fertile. No country in the world can sustain 
a population of greater density than Puget Sound. Its wealth of timber, prolific soil, vast beds of coal, rich iron 





ores, fisheries of incalculable wealth, water powers, opportunities for the merchant and manufacturer, its easy 
access by land and its magnificent approach by sea ; these, and a host of other advantages, combine to give it a 
promise and a certainty in the great operations of the future that cannot be questioned.

Population. —Two hundred and forty thousand 
people dwell in the Puget Sound country, one-third of 
them in the county of King, and one-fourth in the city 
of Seattle. Other towns of importance are Olympia, 
the state capital ; Tacoma, Port Townsend, Whatcom, 
Fairhaven, Anacortes, Everett, Ballard, Puyallup, 
Snohomish, Port Angeles, Shelton, EaConner, Mount 
Vernon, Coupeville and Sidney. 

Trade.— In 1892, 112,754,000 feet of lumber were 
shipped to foreign ports; 4,144,000 laths, 1,608,000 
shingles, 3,393,636 bushels of wheat and 130,844 bar¬ 
rels of flour, valued in the aggregate at $4,566,000. 
Large as these figures are, they appear small compared 
with those indicating the exports to domestic ports and 
by rail to the East. Nearly 600,000 tons of coal are 
sent by ship from Puget Sound to Oregon and Califor¬ 
nia ports, and fully 200,000,000 feet of lumber, annu¬ 
ally. In all 1,500,000 tons of cargo are sent out of 
Puget Sound annually, necessitating the employment

IRRIGATED LANDS 

▼ ▼ ▼ T T 

(Advertisement) 

In Eastern Washington there are 
several million acres of land originally 
a desert waste but now undergoing 
quite rapid development in several 
parts by means of irrigation. These 
developments are at present confined 
almost entirely to the Yakima valley, 
of which Major Powell, director of the 
government geological survey, a high 
authority on the subject, says: ‘‘The 
Yakima valley is an ideal country for 
irrigation, the supply of water being 
unlimited and the cost of diverting 
and utilizing being less than in any 



DENNY SCHOOL 















other country known.” The largest irrigation enterprise of the state is that of the Yakima 
Improvement Company, locally known as the Sunny side canal, covering about 80,000- 
acres of land nowhere surpassed in fertility. This canal is 60 miles long, 30 feet wide at 
bottom, 62 y 2 feet at top and 8 feet in depth. The following is a brief summary of the ad¬ 
vantages offered to settlers by the Sunnyside district: 

Climate.—The summer climate resembles that of California valleys in the length of 
the growing season, the number of sunny days, the absence of late spring and early fall 
frosts and immunity from destructive storms. The winters are short and not at all severe. 

Soil.—The soil is a volcanic ash or decomposed basalt and is of great depth. In. 
places along the river where a vertical surface has been exposed the depth is over eighty 
feet and the soil at the bottom is just as rich as at the top. 



WASHINGTON HOP FIELD, SUNNYSIDE DISTRICT. 

Productions. —This is beyond question the best fruit country in the United States 
for apples, grapes, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, prunes, berries and melons. It also 
offers superior advantages for the raising of hops as the hop-louse cannot endure the sum¬ 
mer heats and dies before doing any harm to the vines. The yield is large and uniform, 
averaging in old yards from 1,800 to 2,500 pounds per acre year after year. Alfalfa is the 
great forage crop, and is cut from four to five times each season, yielding from six to ten 
tons per acre. Vegetables give enormous returns, especially potatoes, which are of su¬ 
perior quality, and profitably grown for the markets of Puget Sound. The cuts “Wash- 






ington Hop Field” on the previous page and “Washington Potato Field” on this page 
are from photographs taken in the Sunnyside country in July 1893. 

Special Advantages of Fruit Culture. —All the lands under the Sunnyside canal 
lie within a few miles of stations on the main line of the Northern Pacific railroad. Re¬ 
frigerator cars are furnished and fresh fruit can be put in good condition in the Sound 
cities on the west and Spokane on the east, and can be sold in competition with California 
fruit in all the mining towns and camps of Montana and Idaho and the towns of North 
Dakota, South Dakota and Manitoba, and in the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, 
Superior and Chicago. The Washington growers will monopolize these markets as soon 
as they can supply them, for the reason that Washington fruit is much better flavored 
than that of California. A branch belt line railroad from Mabton to Toppenish through 



WASHINGTON POTATO FIELD, SUNNYSIDE DISTRICT. 

the Sunnyside country is also projected and will give additional advantages to settlers, 
as its construction is one of the necessities of the near future. 

Ten Acres Enough. —A settler who cultivates well in fruit, vegetables and alfalfa ten 
acres of this wonderful soil will have all the land he can personally attend to and will 
make a good support for a family. With twenty acres he can make a net income of from 
two to three thousand dollars a year. 

Farming by Irrigation —Irrigation makes a farmer independent of the weather. 
He applies just the right amount of moisture to his land to secure the largest possible crop 
returns. No failure of crop is possible. The process is not laborious nor expensive. 
The water is turned on the lands two or three times during the growing season. 

Prospective settlers desiring further information as to these lands can obtain the same 
in full detail, with maps, etc., by addressing D. R. McGinnis, Sunnyside, Washington. 



WASHINGTON, THE EVERGREEN STATE • • • 

v v y v v v v 

“ The most imposing monument yet reared to the memory of George Wash¬ 
ington is not the splendid shaft at the national capital, nor is it that capital itself, 
beautiful now and destined to be the most beautiful of cities. It is the new state 
which bears his name, away off in the northwest corner of the Union—a state 
larger than New York, larger than England and Wales combined, and which in 
its very infancy bears upon its brow, in characters legible to all beholders, the 
infallible promise of parity, if not primacy, among all American commonwealths 
in every attribute of greatness. The same energy that has made Massachusetts 
rich and populous would in half the time make the state of Washington a Belgium 
in density of population and an England in wealth. The greatness of this young 
giant does not depend upon any one thing. It has been compared to Pennsylvania 
and justly, in that a wall could be constructed around it without serious detri¬ 
ment to its population, every necessity of life being available within its borders. 
* * * * * No gift of prophecy is needed to confirm the faith of every citizen 
of Washington that ten years hence, when the tribes come up again to be num¬ 
bered, the Evergreen State will have a population of a million and a half, and its 
resources will be developed to a degree which will realize the wildest dreams of 
patriotism—nay, of avarice itself.”— Moses P. Handy , in LippincotVs Magazine. 

No state has shown more permanent and pronounced evidences of development and 
prosperity, during the past few years, than Washington. Situated in the most remote 
corner of the Union, away from centers of population and lines of travel, its progress for a 
long time w 7 as necessarily slow. With the westward extension of empire, the obstacles to 
a rapid growdh have been removed, and there has been nothing for a decade to retard the 
natural and inevitable advance. In consequence, the gains of wealth and population, and 
all the commercial, civilizing and refining influences accompanying, have been many 
times greater during the last ten years than during the thirty years previous, and the 
forward movement is fully as active now 7 as at any time in the past. From the standpoint 
of the mariner or the landsman, the citizen or the stranger, the farmer or the man of town, 
the miner or the fisherman, the homeseeker or healthseeker, the day laborer, the 
mechanic, the artist, the capitalist, the manufacturer, the lumberman, the professional 
man, one and all, it’s the same—Washington is magnificent and unapproachable in climate, 
scenery, resources, and in opportunities to make money. Its harbors are peerless ; its 
rivers navigable for hundreds of miles ; its lakes many and beautiful; its waters teem 
with food fishes ; its lands are laden with hundreds of billions of feet of the finest of 
timber ; its soils produce grasses, grains, hops, fruits and vegetables in the utmost pro¬ 
fusion ; beds of different varieties of coals cover great areas, and are practically inexhaust¬ 
ible ; iron abounds ; the precious metals are found in many places ; all these, and more, 
added to the most equable and temperate of climes, and to scenery diversified, grand and

I y akes Chelan and Washington ; the islands of Puget Sound ; the gorges, canyons, cascades and coulees of East¬ 
ern Washington ; the big trees and the dense timber; the varied view from a single standpoint, of mountain, lake, 
river, sound, valley and town ; the highlands and the low lands ; the farms, the towns, the ships, the newness, the 
freshness, the activity and the promise, combine alternately to awe, elevate, astound, interest and please. The 
landscape painter finds in the Evergreen State subjects so numerous and so grand as to be bewildering. 
















The climate, like the scenery, is varied. Generally speaking, though, there are two- 
climates in the state, one east of the Cascades and the other west. The average rainfall 
east, is about 20 inches a year, the snowfall 30 inches, and the temperature 50 degrees. 
The extremes of heat and cold are more marked in the east than the west. Melons will 
do nothing in Western Washington ; In Eastern they thrive immensely, attaining 6a 
pounds in weight frequently. Peaches, grapes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, figs and other 
similar products are grown and shipped in great quantities. The lowest point reached by 
the thermometer in years was 3 degrees Fahrenheit in 1888 ; the next lowest, 7 in 1884 ; 
12 in 1883 ; 14 in 1887 ; 16 in 1886 ; 20 in 1880; 21 in 1882 ; 25 in 1881 ; 26 in 1878; 28 
in 1879, and 29 in 1885. The winters were so mild in some cases as to be hardly per¬ 


ceptible. The greatest heat during the years referred to was 84 degrees in 1881 and 1884; 
86 in 1879 and 1889; 87 in 1885 and 1888 ; 88 in 1882 and 1887 ; 90 in 1886 ; 92 in 
1880 and 1884; and 94 in 1878. The average temperature during twelve years was 50 
degrees, and the average precipitation, including snow melted, 45 inches. There are no 
violent atmospheric phenomena, the climate is mild and temperate, healthful and pleasant, 
permitting outdoor sports and work the year around. 

There has never been anything like a general epidemic. Vital statistics indicate a 
very low death rate ; in King county, for instance, there being 315 deaths in 1892, in a 
population of 78,762.

Timber —Western Washington possesses, according to Government Forestry Re¬ 
ports, the heaviest continuous belt of merchantable timber in the United States. It is 
estimated that 23,000,000 acres of timber land in the state will cut an average of 15,000 
feet of merchantable timber per acre, while much will cut upwards of 100,000 feet; but a 
conservative estimate places the total at 410,333,335,000 feet. Tbe output of lumber from 
Washington for the year 1892 was: Boards, 1,164,425,000 feet; lath, 436,716,000; shingles, 
1,883,868,000. Fir constitutes about two-thirds of the forest growth, cedar, hemlock, 
white pine, ash, maple, alder, cottonwood and larch following in the order named. The 
fir grows to immense proportions, trees 250 to 300 feet in height, and from 6 to 12 feet in 
diameter being not uncommon ; thus permitting extraordinary possibilities in the way of 
“ dimension stuff.” Fir is heavy and strong, is unsurpassed for ship, bridge or car con¬ 
struction, and for general building purposes. Cedar is next in abundance and importance. 
The value of cedar was not at first fully appreciated, but as its durability, the ease with 
which it is worked, and its beauty when properly finished, have become known, the 
demand has increased. Red cedar shingles have a wide reputation. In the state there 
are 300 saw mills, 300 shingle mills, 57 sash factories and 50 other wood-working estab 
lishments, and more than 500 logging camps. The durability of the Washington cedai 
shingle is so great that eventually it will be the only shingle used. It is estimated that 
within the next two years the production of shingles in Washington will amount to three- 
quarters of the entire production of the United States, which is about 10,900,000,000, and

with their constantly increasing use for siding may reach 15,000,000,000. During the 
past year shingle mills were erected with a daily capacity of 6,000,000 shingles. The 
daily capacity of the 300 shingle mills is 20,000,000 shingles. Lumber making has been 

the leading manufacture of Washing¬ 
ton in the past, and will be the lead¬ 
ing industry, doubtless, for many years 
to come. 

Coal. —Coal is found in 18 of the 34 
counties of the state. The fields are 
said to comprise 1,000,000 acres. The 
varieties are lignite, bituminous, an¬ 
thracite and coals of mixed character. 
The first mines developed were inWhat- 
com county, followed by those of King, 
Pierce, Lewis and Kittitas counties. 
The chief development has been in King 
county, from which has so far been tak¬ 
en about one-half the coal yet mined in 
the state. So far the coal of the state has 
been in demand chiefly for domestic pur¬ 
poses and the making of steam. It has been used to a limited extent for gas making and coke. 
It is gradually working into favor, and to the exclusion of other coals is more and more gener- 
erally supplying the wants of the people of the entire Coast. Nothing has yet been done with 
the anthracite in trade. It is the 
product of a later period than the 
anthracite of Pennsylvania. 

The Roslyn mine, in Kittitas 
county, produces a vast quantity 
of coal of excellent quality, and 
is the chief source of supply of the 
people of Eastern Washington. 

The Skagit river coal is one of 
the best in the state, being good 
for coke and steam, its analysis 
showing 1.19 per cent moisture, 

8.35 per cent ash, 18.80 per cent 
gas and 71.66 fixed carbon. It 
has found little use in the past, 
however. The anthracite is found in the Cowlitz country. There is every indication that 
Washington, ten years hence will be one of the three or four leading coal producing states 
of the Union.

Iron.—This mineral, so indispensible in the affairs of men, is found in different parts; 
of the state. There are many grades or kinds, at least three of them coming within 
Bessemer limits. But little, however, has been done in the way of production and noth¬ 
ing whatever with the best ores. Furnaces have been erected at Irondale, in Jefferson 
county, and irregularly employed for some 3^ears past. For some purposes, as for car 
wheels, its output ranks with the best in the world. The most valuable deposits known 
in the state are those in the Snoqualmie district, near Seattle. 

Agricultural Resources.—Washington’s two principal items of agricultural ex¬ 
ports are wheat and hops. Conservative authorities make no attempt to limit the wheat 
raising capacities of the state to less than 200,000,000 bushels annually. There has never 
been a failure of crop ; yields of 40 to 60 bushels per acre are common, and a test acre,, 
cultivated with care, raised in 1890, 101 bushels. 

Western Washington is justly celebrated for its hops, both as to quantity and qual¬ 
ity. The yield for the pa.st thirteen years has been about 1,600 pounds per acre,, 
though many yards produce a much higher average. Several instances are known 
where the yield was 3,000 and as high as 4,000 pounds per acre. The average price 
paid the grower has been 18 cents ; the average cost of production is 9 cents per pound. 
The yield of the state is 40,000 bales of 200 pounds each. In New York state the yield 
of hops is about 600 pounds per acre, and in England and Germany 800 pounds per 
acre. The crop of this state is grown chiefly in King, Pierce and Yakima coun¬ 
ties. Nearly all cereals are raised successfully; and there is no soil or climate better 
adapted to the production of oats, hay, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. Oats in Western 
Washington yield commonly 75 bushels to the acre and occasionally as high as 100 to 125 
bushels. Potatoes yield 200 to 500 bushels to the acre. All fruits that can be grown in 
the temperate zone are produced abundantly; peaches, prunes, apples, cherries, plums, 
berries, pears, melons being especially fine and prolfic. The prunes of Puget Sound district 
are equal in quality to those of Italy and find a ready market at equal price with the best 
Italian. 

Fisheries.—The waters of Puget Sound, the rivers emptying therein, and the ocean 
adjacent to the Straits of Fuca, abound with food fishes. There are so many varieties of 
food fish and in such quantity as to warrant the assertion that the fisheries of this state 
will become fully as valuable as those of the North Atlantic. 

Of salmon there are six varieties: Chinook, blueback, silverside, steel-head, dog and 
jack. The canning of salmon has for a number of years been an important industry. 

Halibut is found most abundant about fifteen to twenty miles from Cape Flattery, in 
the Straits of Fuca and near the islands of the Archipelago de Haro. Among other im¬ 
portant varieties may be mentioned : True cod, beshow or black cod, ling or cultus cod, 
rock cod, sea bass, smelt, herring and anchovy or sardine. The herring of Puget Sound 
are especially fine, being large, fat and abundant, and the few that have been smoked and

packed are pronounced by competent judges to have no superiors. The curing of cod and 
herring and the packing of sardines will, so soon as undertaken by competent persons, 
prove wonderfully profitable and be the source of great wealth to the state. Oysters, 
clams, crabs, etc., abound. Seattle is the headquarters of the fishery business and has the 
only vessels engaged in seal fisheries. More salmon has been canned at Seattle than at all 
other Puget Sound points combined. Puget Sound fisheries employ a capital of $300,000 
and do a business of $1,000,000 annually. The business is in its infancy. Cod, halibut 
and other important food fish can be delivered on the wharves at Seattle at a fraction of 
the cost on the Atlantic coast. 

Precious Metals. —The mineral wealth of Washington cannot be estimated. The 
precious metals are distributed over a wide area and promise enormous development of 
wealth. Gold, silvef, lead, copper, tin, asbestos, graphite, limestone, marble, granite, 
-sandstone are to be added to coal and iron. All these combined furnish an opulence of 
mineral resources rarely encountered in a single field. People in Washington have not 
yet learned all there is on top of the ground and cannot be expected to know all that 
lies underneath. From careful examinations made by experienced men recently, no in¬ 
dustry seems deserving of greater attention, and indications clearly point to an early and 
vast increase of business in the precious metals. Many obstacles have arisen to delay the 
discovery and development of mining properties on the western slope of the Cascades, 
most notable of which has been the almost impenetrable growth of timber and vegetation. 
As the best routes become known and more convenient means afforded for reaching the 
various districts, these various obstacles will prove blessings in the profitable working of 
the properties. In no other section of the Union is timber for mining and building pur¬ 
poses so abundant and of such excellent quality, and in very few districts is there such an 
abundant supply of the purest water with practically unlimited head. At a minimum ex¬ 
pense electricity can be generated for lighting, running drills, etc., while power for mills 
-can be supplied through the same medium or direct from water pressure. Again, the short 
distance to tide water (an average of seventy miles), on an easy descending grade, will 
enable the quick and ultimately cheap assembling of the various kinds of smelting ores, 
together with coke, limestone and iron, the reduction of the ores at the minimum of ex¬ 
pense thus being effected. The Silver Creek, Monte Cristo and Cascade Mining Districts 
have already obtained a world-wide reputation. The recent completion of the new rail¬ 
road into the Monte Cristo district, the building of the Great Northern through the Cas¬ 
cade Mountains and the opening of smelters, (one of which is now nearing completion) 
will give to mining operations a tremendous impetus, rapidly hurrying the day when 
Washington will take place among states in the front rank of gold and silver producers. 

Building Stone of many varieties and superior quality is found in many places and 
in large quantities. 

Lime. —San Juan county produces nearly all the lime used in Oregon and Washing¬ 
ton, and ships large quantities. It is unsurpassed in quality. 

Government Land. —A vast area of land yet belongs to the government, and may be 
obtained under the beneficent laws of the country. These lands are of all kinds, mineral.

timber, grazing, valley, etc. L,and offices are located at seven different points in the state, 
the principal one being at Seattle. 

Building Operations:—D uring 1803 Seattle has made notable progress in building operations. Numerous magnificent business 
buildings, one covering an entire block to be occupied as a department store, and a large number of residences have been erected. 

Nicaragua.—T he opening to ships of the Nicaragua Canal will be of untold value to the State of Washington, and particularly to 
Puget Sound. From Seattle to New York by Cape Horn is 15,540 miles, by the canal, 5,646 miles. To Liverpool by Cape Horn the distance 
is 15,390 miles, by the Nicaragua route, 8,394. To New Orleans by Cape Horn it is 15,572 miles, by Nicaragua, 4,747. Already considerable 
commerce exists between the cities named and this port by the Cape Horn route, a business that would be doubled and trebled at once by 
the opening of the canal, and that would be increased ten and twenty fold within five years. It is claimed by some that a billion feet of 
lumber—a thousand large shiploads—would soon be going from Puget Sound to Atlantic ports, lumber that does not go now because of the 
expense and the injury to cargo on board and the long time required to make the trip. And lumber is but one of Washington’s interests 
that would receive benefit from the canal proposed. 

AS OTHERS SEE US. 

The following are a few scattering expressions from men “ whom we all know: ” 

Andrew Carnegie:—“I was much taken with some of the western cities, particularly Seattle. That city, I believe, is destined to be 
one of the greatest commercial centers in the country. Its growth has been simply wonderful and it has every possible advantage and the 
climate is delightful. If I wanted to move west, I think I would go straight to Seattle.” 

Henry Irving in an interview in the Chicago Tribune, October 2, 1893:—“ It is a wonderful country. Seattle is almost a miracle. All 
that section is bound to grow and develop.” 

George W. Cable :—“ Seattle, I view in wonder and admiration, as I contemplate its energy and rapid growth, clothed in a confidence 
of its future greatness, and surrounded by a land of wonderful resource and promise.” 

Jay Cook :—“ Having been an interested spectator in the growth of cities, I can assure you that Seattle is to be one of the largest in the 
United States.” 

Ex-President Harrison :—“ Six years ago I visited your beautiful city; you were then largely a prospective city. I am glad to come 
to-day and to see how freely and perfectly the large expectations then entertained by your enterprising people have been realized. It is a 
matter of amazement to look upon these towering, substantial granite and iron structures in which the great business of your city is 
transacted.” 

Henry Yillard :—“ I am simply amazed at the wonderful changes that have been made in Seattle since the time of the fire.” 

General Alger :—“ I have just returned from Seattle and am brimful of enthusiasm over the splendid mining developments near 
that city.” 

General J. S. Clarkson :—“Capital has unfailing instinct. It has marked Seattle for its own and any man of observation can see 
that there is to be erected one of the great cities of the world.” 

James J. Hill, President Great Northern Railway Co.:—“ This state is so rich that I would rather have a road through the Cascades than, 
all the roads in California.” 

U. S. Senator IIale : “ If I had a son who was about to enter upon life I know of no place where I would more urgently recommend 
him to go than the Puget Sound country.” 

Charles L. Colby : “ My faith is especially in the Puget Sound country.” 

John Wanamaker: “ After we had spun around the State of Washington I was amazed. There are no signs of hard times out there. 
Everything is progress and enterprise. What nerve the people show, what profit their real estate yields.” 

U. S. Senator Vest : “ 1 have been out to Puget Sound and I consider it the most wonderful country in the world.” 

General Sherman :, “ God has done more for Puget Sound and her people than for any other place in the world.” 

Edward Rosewater, in his paper, the Omaha Bee: “With the exception of the far-famed bay of Naples I doubt whether there is in 
all this wide, wide world a more lovely and fascinating spot than the site of sea-girt Seattle, with the waveless salt water bay at its feet and 
three limpid fresh water lakes bathing its flanks. The Queen City of Puget Sound, as Seattle is properly called, excels any city of equal 
population in America in the compactness of her jobbing and retail streets and the number of imposing and substantial business blocks. 
The bulwarks of Seattle, quite apart from her natural advantages, are her enterprising, public-spirited business men.” 

A recent letter in the New York Times from a staff correspondent, says: “A much discussed question in the East is, ‘ which is going tO' 
be the large city on Puget Sound ?’ One need only make a tour of the Sound region and the question is settled. There is only one city that 
has grown up naturally, unassisted by Eastern speculators and townsite promotors. It is Seattle, with a history of 40 years. Its present 
population is over 60,000.” 

John L. Stoddard : “ In my opinion there will be three great cities in America—New York, Chicago and Seattle.”
